Girls, would you go to a sporting event on a first date with a guy?

[Logorithim]

That wouldn't be the entire date, by the way. There would be other things you'd do as part of the date.

Yes

No

[Apope16]

A sporting event like a baseball game etc. is a horrible idea for a first date. However... it is a GREAT idea for a second date, etc.

A first date should be about conversation. Getting to know someone and creating an intimate bond with someone. Because you are sitting so close to people in public, you can't have the type of deep conversation you would normally have at like a restaurant or a bar. I usually say that a couple drinks at a bar is the best first date idea. Going to a coffee shop is very friendzone. Meeting someone at a bar at night has a more romantic vibe. Pretty much anything at night with the subconscience possibility of sex is a better romantic idea.

A sporting event is a great date idea for other dates if the lady is into sports. Only if she says she likes sports in the first date. A baseball game can drag on and be boring unless its the playoffs. But it is a playful change in things to plan that will keep things fun and easy going. I say on the second date you want to go away from the formality of the first date to see that person's fun and playful side. So a sporting event, mini golfing, bowling, a game bar, wine tasting, leaning to paint.. all fun.

Best date I've ever been on? ROCK CLIMBING! There is something about facing fear and danger together along with cooperative challenge that drives up the sexual chemistry to one thousand. I think the fear in rock climbing forces an element of trust. That is guaranteed to make both people horny for each other.

[Logorithim]

Rock climbing would indeed be a hot date. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Apope16]

Be careful man. When you rock climb it is scary if you haven't done it. I was scared. Me and the girl I was with were both scared. Then we conquered our fears together helping each other. Be careful doing that because right after the date she is going to want to jump your bones! It reveals the perfect mix of what a woman wants to see in a man. vulnerability and strength of character while trying to protect her.

[Logorithim]

Cool- thanks for that

[OlderAndWiser]

I would not invite a lady to a sporting event for a first date unless I specifically knew that she was a fan of the particular sport being played. For a first date, I always stick with a dinner date and perhaps a drink at a quiet lounge/live music later.

About a year ago, I invited a fellow G@Ger to come to my hometown for a college football bowl game. I know that she is a football fan. I had the tickets and I really wanted to meet her. Initially, she was excited about the idea and I was eager to meet her. Unfortunately, she got cold feet and it never happened. I gave the tickets to a friend so he and his wife could attend. I wish she had followed through with our plan, but. . . we have both moved on in relationships, so I will probably never meet her.

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

[StingRayxoxo]

Yes! I went to a hockey game on a first date (my choice). It was very exciting and calmed my nerves a bit since I was in my element.

I did have a guy ask me to a baseball game for our first date... I don’t think I could sit 9 innings if we don’t happen to click.

[Logorithim]

Yeah, that's a good point. I think a sporting event might be better on a later date, then.

[StingRayxoxo]

Just saw your reply here. I’m sure it just varies on the connection/quality of the person you’re with on the date.

Thank you for MHO.

[DM_ME_PUPPERS]

I’m not into sports but I think going to a live sporting event would be exciting so yes.

[witherwing]

Depends. A lot of sporting events are kinda expensive around here, especially hockey, which I would consider the most interesting. I prefer a first date to be free or cost only a little. That being said, for example rugby is often free to watch. I've been on a rugby date before (although not a first date) and it was fun.

[DublinRollerGirl]

You are lame ass if you think a sports game is a date.

[witherwing]

Doing pretty much anything together is a date. 😂

[Logorithim]

@DublinRollerGirl: I think that's a bit harsh. If a girl is a sports fan, she may see things differently.

[mistert123]

No you a lame ass

[DublinRollerGirl]

ok, I am a lame ass as my dad always said I was. I took after my mum according to him.

[tony_baloney]

Sounds like you're embodying all the toxicity your father projects onto you because of your mother. Is that why you're so mean?

[DublinRollerGirl]

@tony_baloney I believe so

[tony_baloney]

First you agree, then I'm a lame ass. Jeez princess, pick an opinion and stand by it. You must love to create drama argue. God bless the man that falls for your bi-polar mess <3

[jennifer_bloom]

It sounds like a lot of fun but the closest sporting location is about 2 hours from my house and I am not sure I want to travel that far to meet someone I don't know very well - what if they turn out to be a creep? If I meet somebody new - I prefer to meet very close to my house so if things turn sour - I can immediately get home.

[SpunkNugget]

If he decides to murder you being close to your house doesn't mean you'll ever get there.

[coachTanthony]

First dates should be short and sweet unless you have already met in a bar or other venue and found chemistry before hand. There is nothing worse than a long ass date to NOWHERE especially when you know in the first hour... it isn't happening!

[dagvah]

THIS MAN IS A FEMINAZI! He degrades, belittles, coerces, patronizes, condescends, attempts to humiliate and calls a person names, then turns around and says "HAVE A GREAT DAY!"

What a fucking joke you are "coach". Oh wait! Apart from being an abuser and a brainwashed white-knight, you make money by scamming people! You feminazis are a far bigger threat than anybody else in the world and you WILL be dealt with!

[Allie_Oops]

As long as it is not baseball or golf, sure, why not?

[tony_baloney]

I know I'm not a girl, but that's kind of a bad idea for a first date. Not that it couldn't be fun, or even hurt your chances with someone who has a high interest in you, but a first date should be some place where you can get to know that person. To figure out if she is someone you even want to invest that time with. Your focus should be on getting her to open up, ask her questions, keep her talking, and really listen. Don't talk really about yourself, be mysterious. Let her ask and be curious, don't just spill your guts all over the floor. She'll ask questions as she becomes more curious. She'll feel special knowing you want to really know and connect with her. I'd pick somewhere you can look each other in the eye, talk, and see if they're even someone that's good for you. Then blow money on an expensive good time for the two of you. Then you're not blowing all your cash on first dates too haha. Food for thought.

[Silverstar113]

I am not that into sports but if I am interested in this guy I would want to know about his interests and whether will it interest me as well. Since I am not a fan of sports, I never intentionally watch any sport games so going to a sporting event might or might not be interesting for me. This is a great opportunity to know if this date will proceed into anything further because if the event managed to spark my interest, we would have a lot to talk about and i could learn a lot about it from him. But likewise, if I don't find it amusing, it will be good to reconsider the whole date thing and whether or not we should proceed.

[BrittBratt2416]

I rather not, cause one I don't care for sports and two how do you expect to get to know one another if you're watching a game most of the time? It's going to be crowded, loud because of fans screaming, announcers are talking and a whole bunch of movement is going on. It's not a personal setting with you one on one where you can just talk and get to know one another. I think maybe after a couple of dates, like the 3rd or 4th date is fine but not the first date.

[Logorithim]

Thanks for your thoughts. Those are good Points, but this would only be something two fans would do, and it would only be part of the date (Maybe a picnic or trip to the zoo and a meal beforehand). I'd never inivite a Girl to a Sporting even unless she was interested.

[lifelearner011]

I'd love to, just to see how he "enjoys" sports in general. It would be also a nice mediator to see him more in a relaxed environment, yet I'd expect that we would to something much calmer after as enjoying a nice lunch or going to a relaxed park where we could chat.

[Logorithim]

Yeah, it would also include something like what you mentioned.

[ncityygirlc]

One of my first few dates was also at a sporting event. I didn't particularly like it, I just went with it, because my date liked it, and it was a public activity, nothing too private or intimate. I'm not really into sports, so it wasn't too fun for me. I know how to be a good cheerleader, though.

[fauchelevent]

I guess but I don't think I'd really enjoy it. I have no interest in any sports and it's a loud, busy environment that I won't feel comfortable in. I'd go if that's what the other person wanted to do, it's just not my thing, especially not a first date.

[Sheep_Dog]

From a guys perspective, I wouldn't want to take a first date to a sporting event, like to keep those somewhere near home, simple, lasting around an hour, and low cost in case we just not comparable, or just really weird.
Also I just don't care to watch sports, like to play sports but I guess I just don't like to live through others

[Clo917]

Eh, I don't really care for sports so I'd understand nothing that was going on in the game, but I'd go if he wanted to as long as it wasn't the entire date.

[Logorithim]

I can only speak for myself here, but it would never be the entire date, and I wouldn't bring her to a Sporting Event unless she was already a fan.

It's good that you're willing to go to one, though.

[PossiblyInsane]

I'm not generally a fan of sporting events, but I do like auto races, if that counts. Hockey's not bad either

[Logorithim]

Auto racing definitely counts

[happyhippo]

I'm not a big sports fan and I don't understand much about sports, but it'd be something different and interesting, so why not.

[Logorithim]

I like that attitude...

[happyhippo]

It could be quite beneficial in terms of experience

[smg99]

It’s a relaxed area and we don’t feel the pressure to be the conversation starters in an uptight interviewer situation;) which I dread esp I like that you get the guy at his happiest state with no awkwardness.

[weysally]

well I'm married so I wouldn't go on a date but I see no reason why, to start with it may give you a better insight about your date and vice versa you need to be able to judge for your self what your date is like

[x_Pretty_x]

Sure why not. If a guy was nice enough to ask me out to something he enjoyed I'd be all for it. There could be other dates for other stuff, so that isn't a problem with me.

[Lish89]

I think it's great! The guy is trying to share with you something he enjoys and that's an awesome way to introduce yourself. Plus if you are a sports fan and on opposing teams it could be lots of fun!

[Lovvyyy]

Hell no! I think he would be more interested in the match than talking with me and getting to know each other. What a horrible idea!

[Logorithim]

I've been to a variety of sporting svents with people (albeit never a date), and we talked plenty during them.

[Lolli2]

If I liked the guy enough, then yes, sure. Although in general, watching sports is not my thing, so if that were his main passion in life we probably wouldn't work out.
